SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Are you looking for ways to give your child an edge for the future? Sylvan Learning located at two sites in San Jose is now offering innovative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education and accelerated after school programs, known as Sylvan Edge. Our new Robotics, Coding and Math Edge programs help kids foster a love of science and technology at a young age with interactive, fun and hands-on activities.

"Our goal for Sylvan Edge is to expose our students to different technology and engineering concepts in an unconventional and fun way in order to help them develop a life-long interest in STEM subjects," said Roger Shore, owner, Sylvan Learning San Jose located at two sites, 5415 Camden Avenue and at the Westgate Center, 4701 Hamilton Avenue."These hands-on learning experiences challenge and inspire kids to master critical 21^st century skills."

In Robotics for Kids (grades 2- 6), students learn how to build and program robots with LEGO® bricks and software— letting their creativity and imaginations loose. Coding for Kids is an innovative course featuring video game design and computer programming with options for kids in grades 3-8. Math Edge, our math mastery program for grades 1–5, uses a variety of brain-boosting activities to help kids solve math problems in cool and engaging ways. Best of all, these programs are fun for kids. To see Sylvan Edge in action, check out this short video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3YCLhprELg&feature=y...).
